A message from Shangpa Rinpoche :
關於大寶法王陛下的新聞，有點驚喜及有點不舒服。但基於祂是被夏瑪仁波切所認證及栽培，我真的對祂有堅定的信心。就個人來說，大寶法王陛下確實是位偉大的菩薩，他具有許多跟以前第十六世大寶法王一樣的品格，他對每一個人都平等慈悲，及祂單純而實際。雖然我不明白這巨變的重要，但是有一點可以確信的，那不是受世俗慾望驅使所致，菩薩生活方式其背後重要原因，仍尚待了解，那是超越一般人想法所能判斷。
News about HHK is somehow surprise and little uncomfortable. I do have strong faith and devotion to him based on how he is recognized and brought up by HH Shamar Rinpoche. As a person, HHK is really a great bodhisattva who has many qualities that 16th Karmapa used to have. His compassion to everyone is somehow impartial and is simple and down to earth nature. I do not know significant of this big move but one thing I am sure, it is not merely driven by worldly desire. It is yet to understand what a important reason behind all this as bodhisattva’s way of life is. It is beyond an ordinary person’s concept to judge.
我認為所有噶瑪噶舉弟子應團結一致，切莫誤判事件。若我們能生起正面的想法，那就順其自然，真的不需要去評論或作預測，反而應專注個人的修持以達至圓滿。我們的觀念一直是僧侶必須純淨嚴守戒律，但實際上，我們傳承持有者如馬爾巴、密勒日巴大師，都是修行證悟的偉大瑜伽士而非僧侶，他們修行的成就，甚至超過當時的僧侶，乃至現今的僧侶。大手印的傳承和教法，沒有強制需要持守出家戒律，甚至超越了戒律。
I think all karma kagyu disciples should unite and do not wrongly judge over the matter. If we are able to develop positive thoughts then let it be, otherwise do not really need to judge or anticipate but concentrate on one’s own practice to perfection. We are brought up with our perception of purity of monks keeping their vinaya precepts only but in truth, the origin of our lineage holders like Marpa, Mila are not monk but great Yogis who achieved their realization. They were far more greater than any monks at that time and up to now. The mahamudra lineage and its teaching are not compulsory to have monks vinaya but it goes beyond to that.
蓮花生大士曾經預言偉大的大寶法王卡恰多傑，為延長自身壽命和法脈傳承的延續，而會擁有兩位佛母。因此，我們最好不要用自己的知見來判斷，而是用正面方式看待事實。
The great Karmapa Khakhyab Dorje who also engaged in two consorts was prophesied by guru rinpoche for his longevities and in sustaining the dharma lineage. Therefore, we do not judge with our own perception but see from the positive ways to understand the reality.
在藏傳佛教中，僧侶和瑜伽修行者兩者，從早期就受到西藏國王同等的敬重。由蓮花生大士和二十五弟子的時代開始，所有都是在家修行人，後來的馬爾巴、密勒日巴，惹瓊巴，也都是在家的瑜伽修行者。薩迦傳承三白，至今仍是西藏的偉大瑜伽士。著名的蔣揚欽智旺波本是僧侶，後來由於特殊原因也擁有佛母。但所有西藏高僧沒有對他失去信心，反而持續認定他是自己的上師。
In Tibetan Buddhism, both monks and yogi practitioners are respected equally by Tibetan Kings since early times. From the time Padma Sambhava and his 25 disciples, all of whom were lay practitioners and later Marpa, Milarepa, Rechungpa all were lay Yogis. The lineage of Sakya three white and till today are also a great yogi of Tibet. The famous Jamyang khyentse wangpo was a monk but later he engaged a consort for special reason. Every Tibetan high lama did not loose faith in him and continued to engage him as their guru.
因此我認為，這是檢視我們對自身修持及傳承上師的信心和確信的一個時機。希望大家要堅強、更加精進修持。
So, I think its a time for us to know how strong our faith and confidence with our practice and lineage guru.
Be strong and practice more diligently.
So I think its a time for us to know how strong our faith and confidence with our practice and lineage guru. Be strong and practice more diligently.
